My first attempt at posting picturesI just did a Google search on that Browning model with a RDS on it, and it looks pretty much as I envisioned it...a bit top heavy:

I think it turned out pretty well considering…
Had to add a shim to reverse the angle so I could zero it.

You say
What? Where did you find this? Why would it be anything other than a different slide and barrel?

Good job on the photo posting! And that RDS doesn't look nearly as out of place as I was expecting. In fact, I'm shocked that it worked out as well as it did.

I haven’t shot a lot of rounds through it with this setup, but enough to zero it and check for function and it staying put. Seems to be working fine.

I don't think my local gun store will let me test fire it. But that being said one type of ammo might have problems whereas another may run fine. It's just a matter of find out which ones. I think many guns are that way especially 22lr. And, sometimes just cleaning it could correct the problems. And other times it's the mag. A box of 10 mags seems to always have one with problems. Locking back, not feeding. I suspect the dead trigger problem is not cycling fully to reset the trigger hence a dead trigger.
Being the curious fellow I am, I called S&W Customer Service. I was told, "not now, but down the road...."
I would take that with a single tiny grain of salt. They have the said the same thing about other pistol lower/upper combos that absolutely can interchange.
Agreed. It’s a different slide but the frame is a BG 2.0 frame. No different than me swapping slides between my 30sc and 9mm Shield Pluses, or swapping various 365 macro/fuse slides onto regular 365 or 365x lowers.

This is pure speculation on my part, but the customer service rep may have been thinking that the question was inquiring about caliber conversion kits being offered (like Sig does).
It's still a fair bit smaller and 8 oz lighter than a Shield Plus.
While I personally find my Shield Plus to be a bit heavy to be a pocket pistol (I feel the same way about steel snubnose revolvers), I certainly wouldn't consider it to be a 'target pistol.'
If you're belt carrying the BG 2.0, the extra length isn't going to be any more difficult to conceal. It may actually help AIWB carry concealment by reducing any keel effect of the grip (particularly with the 12 round mag). The weight difference vs the regular BG 2.0 is listed at all of 0.3 oz.

I have two BG2.0s. One made in November and one in March. Neither had any feed ramp issues.

Got to hold the carry comp model today. I like the narrower rear sight, would be a damn shame if sights weren’t interchangeable with non comp version. I inspected the dual ramp area, no lip so that’s good. Front sight was off center to the left, lol. Still don’t like the rear slide cover design where the rear sight has to be pulled first before accessing striker. Having owned the BG 2.0, I know it’s a great gun and I’d skip the comp model even though it looks cool.
